Default split flaps on piper cub

Not sure if this is really a scale idea or not, (at least i haven't seen it in any pics) but, has anyone ever attempted to install split flaps
on a piper cub? i have the GP .40 kit and am soon beginning the build (will be posting the progress) and was for the most part trying to get a lot of scale details into it, but also a few other details that i just like for looks. i have heard of others installing like fowler flaps and other configurations, but i want to be the different one. i was just wondering about the flight carachteristics how they would be effected. i was going to carve STOL wingtips also. i'm not really worried about any contests for the scale part, just wanting a cool plane. any input would be appreciated.
